Food, service and atmosphere were amazing! (We went there for lunch) I highly recommend dining at From Scratch of you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine that's fresh and flavorful

Carlos G.

Food was delicious and service was exceptional. The vibe can’t be beaten. I loved sitting at the bar and watching the appetizers and desserts being made. The Napoleon is a must-try. I appreciated meeting the owner when she made her table rounds—she was so sweet. I also have my eye on their cooking classes.

Attenzione! Freshest pasta I have ever had outside of Italy! Let’s start from the the spotless interiors with open kitchen concept, but let’s face it, the star here is Chef Claudia’s food. This humble, unassuming eatery serves up the most mouthwatering, fresh and transcending Italian dishes, that it sets the bar head and shoulders above the norm. Everything pictured was outstanding! From the focaccia di recca con speck, tonnarelli cacio e pepe and the delicious ricotta Nutella pie, a “Must have” topped off with two heart shortbread cookies from Chef Claudia herself. You could taste in every dish prepared the love and passion put into it. Lastly, the service was warm, genuine and attentive. DO NOT PASS From Scratch up. Note to bring your own wine as only Italian soft drinks are served. Make it next on your list, I know I’ll definitely be back and soon.
